How much do you want to spend is the question.  For top of the line, 
there's nothing finer than the Thrustmaster line.  After you use one for 
a while, you'll most likely swear to die by it.  I have a PFCS, which is 
a 4 buttons joystick w/ hat, and really tight springs.  I also just 
aquired an FLCS, which is modeled after an F-16 block 50.  This thing 
rules.  4-8 way hats, 4 buttons, 2 stage trigger button, and programmable 
out the wazzoo.  If you don't have too much to spend you might consider 
the Wingman Extreme, but the trigger buttons break really easily.  
Logitech is ramping up production for fixed versions though.
